Steve Miller Band fans check in!!!

[LynneSin]

Does anyone out there actually think someone can write the songs (well excluding Abracadabra) better than Steve Miller Band. Outside of Robert Plant, I've seen Steve Miller Band more times than any other band out there. You go because you can sing along with all the songs!

17. OK, so I will admit to not totally hating a few of his songs.

But he's not my favorite musical act of all time.

[LynneSin]

18. I've seen him 4 times in concert

It was just a fun time almost as fun as a Jimmy Buffet concert!!

You should try it sometime!

[flamingyouth]

9. I think I love you

Oh wait, wrong '70s act. :D

[RandomKoolzip]

3. Where's the "sarcasm" emoticon?

[LynneSin]

4. How can you not love Steve Miller Band

:cry:

[RandomKoolzip]

5. Easily! I'll show you:

"I Hate Steve Miller."


See? Easy as falling off a log.

[LynneSin]

8. But SMB is good time fun for everyone

Of course last SMB concert I went to we got drunk and sang really loudly to all the songs.

It's fun for all!!

[RandomKoolzip]

14. You could also turn on classic rock radio and wait twelve minutes.

Sure enough, they'll play some Steve Miller. And you can get drunk and sing along in the privacy of your own home!

[LynneSin]

15. It's better when done in public with the whole audience joining in

:D

ANd I don't listen to classic rock radio - too many commericials and the only zep songs they play are Stairway and Rock & Roll

[Whoa_Nelly]

6. Saw Steve and gang last August

Norton Buffalo played with them. Steve was awesome as usual! :woohoo:

[jonnyblitz]

11. wedding reception music. just horrible.

:puke:

[LynneSin]

12. Jonny, you just have never seen SMB in concert with the right people

We snuck in alcohol and had a blast!

[bicentennial_baby]

23. um, were you 16?

sorry had to ask... :rofl:

[Initech]

13. Cause I'm a joker and I'm a smoker and

Ah crap, I've got that song stuck in my head now!

[no name no slogan]

16. The only 70s band to make "REO Speedwagon" sound good

overrated, undertalented, cheezy, about as sonically interesting as watching paint dry.

Sorry, but I'll pass.

[RandomKoolzip]

19. But listen to these lyrics:

"Feed the babies
Who don't have enough to eat
Show the children
With no shoes on their feet...
Whoa, there's a solution."

Hey Dem party: why haven't you hired this Miller guy to work on your campaigns?! He's got REAL soultions to real problems! Children are hungry? FEED THEM! Shoeless? PUT SHOES ON THEM! Fucking guy is brilliant.

It's Miller Time!

[LynneSin]

20. Damn Straight Skippy

The words of the Space Cowboy speaks the truth!

[no name no slogan]

24. More mindless pap for the masses

Miller's lyrics can't hold a candle to the transcendent universal message of love expressed by the Speedwagon in "Keep On Lovin' You":

You should have seen
By the look in my eyes baby
There was something missin'
You should have known
By the tone in my voice maybe
But you didn't listen
You played dead
But never bled
Instead you lay still in the grass
All coiled up and hissin'

And I though I know
All about those men
Still I don't remember
Cause it was us baby
Way before them
And we're still together
And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

And I meant every word I said
When I said that I love you
I meant that I love you forever

And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you

Hey I'm gonna keep on lovin' you
Cause it's the only thing I wanna do
I don't wanna sleep
I just wanna keep on lovin' you



Pure poetry.

[Patiod]

21. My very first concert!

Wasn't allowed to go to concerts yet, so I rode my bike to the Temple University Musci Festival (now Temple Ambler campus), and we snuck into the concert.

Hey, I was 14 and thought they were DAMNED cool.

And I thought I was pretty cool, because I knew what a midnight toker was, and some of my friends didn't!

[Archae]

22. Steve Miller Band SUCKS!!!

Anything they could do wrong, they did.
(I think they were the inspiration for "Spinal Tap.") :-)

Their biggest "hit," AFAIK, is "Rockin' Me Baby," shit, even the worst of disco was better.

[yellowdogintexas]

25. checking in. You are not alone. nt

[LynneSin]

26. Thank you sweetie

You're my new DU best friend

The rest of them turned out to be a bunch of backstabbing Brutuses!!

:cry:

[yellowdogintexas]

27. LOL. Hey we both went to Methodist colleges too.

what's yours?

Mine's Kentucky Wesleyan

[LynneSin]

28. Lebanon Valley College

:D

[yellowdogintexas]

29. cool. nt

[DancingBear]

30. Children, children, children

The "latter day" stuff (like after '73) is absolute dreck.

The early stuff (the albums "Sailor", "Brave New World" and "Your Saving Grace") are classics.

The end.

[Crazy Dave]

31. Didya' ever hear Homer Simpson do "The Joker"?

:rofl:

[Spider Jerusalem]

32. The intestinal chorus of a dysentery ward is better 'music'...

than the Steve Miller Band. But it smells about the same--I'm prone to occasional random synaesthesia, and their music makes me smell raw sewage (311 have the same effect).

[blindpig]

33. Only good thing I can say about Steve Miller:

He made Punk necessary. Thanks for the Clash and Ian Dury, Stevie!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

34. um

:puke:

[LynneSin]

35. Not You

Come on, Steve Miller was the anthems of our youth!!! He sang the songs that we lived and he sang from the heart.

Secretly even you like a Steve Miller song or two!!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

36. Led Zeppelin -yes. Steve Miller -no.

just sayin
